![]() ![]() Crowns of the Faithful or other intellect buffs also work great - get the AoE larger. Of course, durganize everything to get the speed up there, pile on a Dire Blessing, Devotions of the Faithful, and Frenzy. ![]() Dazed - Glittering Gloves ( including from Barbaric Retaliation, I believe) Disorienting - Vile Loners Lance / Strike Hard Potentially additional retaliation items - assuming dazed, stun and disorienting triggers from retaliation strikes Swaddling sheet could also work, for more synergy when being hit by a crit. Potentially Sanguine plate and Shod-in-faith, but that is a great combo for most frontliners. ![]() Waist: Binding rope, so foes hitting you get stuck Head: Executioner's Hood to apply a passive frightened effect in AoE Gauntlets: Glittering Gloves to apply dazed (maybe overkill with stun already - but why not?) Possible to mix and match, but then taking two weapons focus might be good - or take the weapon focus for the stunning weapon Of note is that both Godansthunyr and Vile Loners Lance have bonuses to their interrupt values - which is a nice bonus Each has its benefits - speed and two different damage types for the warhammers, and more accuracy from the spears I have read on many posts that for PotD you have to optimize and min/max wich as i understand it in terms of a barbarian shifts the focus heavily towards. I want to play on PotD difficulty and i would like to build the barbarian my way. Either spears (CladhalĂath and Vile Loners Lance), or warhammers (Godansthunyr and Strike Hard). Hi, i just recently bought PoE and want to play a Barbarian. There are two combinations of weapons that will give you disorienting (-5 to all defenses), and stunning. Apprentice's sneak attack (what with stun allowing it) Weapon focus (peasant or soldier, depending on weapon choice) Barbaric retaliation (does this proc dazed, stun and disorienting?) Brute force (more crits if you target the lower defense) We want accurate and fast carnage, over as large of an area as possible to proc those crits to shut the enemy down. Many enemies have higher Fortitude than Deflection, but Brute Force can be made to work with a morning star's Body Blows modal. Carnage isn't amazing, but it is free (Raw) damage which scales with PL. The idea is to have the barbarian use carnage to pile as many on-hit/crit status effects as possible on the enemy - stun and disorienting being the main ones, but also dazed - as well as using passive auras and effects from being hit, such as sickened, terrified and stuck. For example, combining Blooded and Unflinching means that the Barbarian always has a Health-related bonus. One barbarian that I have had a lot of fun with for PotD is the stun-lock or excessive status effect barbarian. I posted this in another thread, but I would like to bring it up for discussion separately. ![]()
